We always had a chance of winning that cup we have no chance of winning this one.

Of course we have.

Last season we had the likes of Pask, Dacosta, Shipley, Jones on the bench and getting minutes.

They're all at a level below now and we've replaced them with better

I doubt robins will be too bothered about this. Nice to progress but with the fixture congestion before the World Cup and us already a game behind I can’t see him losing that much sleep.

It doesn't help most Premier League and Championship teams play weaker teams, if it was full strenth teams round on round it would be taken more seriously.

Alot of games to squeeze in before the World Cup, those desperate for a cup run were always going to be left dissapointed

The starting 11 tonight says all you need to know about the ambition to progress

Run? A win would be nice!

Well let’s write off that half and win the second. Come on city. Got to get the CBS working as a team…currently look as have never played together. And mmm need bite in midfield and must try and feed the forwards.

Nick you were very complimentary about about Eccles last season.

He hasn't just regressed overnight so were you wrong then or over reacting now?

Can't be both

He'll be on board with him if he takes someone out knee high

This demonstrates that after Hamer & Sheaf we have a big drop in quality in midfield

How's Allen doing. He's a MR fav and apart from about 2 games I've never even seen him in a game

A lot saying that Eccles was class based on nothing were the same ones saying Shippers etc weren't up to the level. He might still end up better, but needs a loan at L1 level. Certainly not ready yet and Howley I think similar but we don't have the squad depth or finances.

That back line is a very decent defence. Plus their top scorer (more than Gyo last season) is up front. One or two others - not exactly second string.

They're terrible at the back and have got a dreadful record

We're being soundly beaten by the Bristol City second string which is much less insulting

I would say this is mostly our second string too.

It also shows Hamer isn't the easiest to replace as he is our best player and we are so much weaker without him.

Bit early to be writing Eccles off isn't it? He's had about 90 minutes worth of bad football in his career with us so far...
